    S4. Fresh Fruit Shaved Ice(Pick 5 Toppings) with vanilla ice cream
    Julie H.

    fruit was sweet , ice cream was good too. Very busy but there is seating. Clean environment , service was quick.

    S7. Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice With Flan
    Chloe L.

    Not as bustling as some other dessert spots in the area but will be a new go-to for me. Shared a medium shaved ice among 3-4 people and it was perfect and very affordable ($16 for medium). Shaved ice has an ice base (not milk) but it suited the fruits and condensed milk so well. Every bite was very refreshing with the fruits. Flan is on the denser side and not too sweet at all. Pretty quick service, pick up and buss your trays vibe. Definitely want to come back to try some of their other menu items too!

    S9. Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice With Flan And Coconut Pudding
    Aishah M.

    Juicy box is DELICIOUS!!! And if you don't like it get some taste. Haha I had been a few years back and had totally forgotten about it (idk how). But then I saw their videos resurface all over TikTok. So I went and it altered my brain chemistry all over again hehe. So amazing but man the line was stressful. Y'all gotta stop crowding these places hehe but I'm happy they're getting the recognition they deserve. I went and got the mixed fruit shaved ice. It's a bit pricey but delicious. It's 17$ for one bowl but comes with shaved ice, mixed fruit and topped with strawberry ice cream, coconut pudding, flan and drizzled in condensed milk. Delicious! The shaved ice is creamy - melts in your mouth. It's absolutely perfect. Also the ice has taste. I saw another review where they said it's just bland ice. Umm no it's not? It's literally shaved ice mixed in with condensed milk? Some people have no tastebuds lol. You order at a kiosk and they call your number when ready. Pretty fast service. The inside is sort of tight and narrow but when it's not packed you can manage to get a table. I would highly recommend. It's so good!!!

    I've always loved Juicy Box, it's my go-to spot for shaved ice after a savory meal. The mango shaved ice is my favorite: always sweet and perfectly ripe, even when it's not mango season. The combo of shaved ice, condensed milk, fresh mangoes, strawberries, and ice cream is unbeatable. 10/10. Since it was cold out today, I tried the ginger tofu dessert for the first time. I usually add honey or sugar when I get tofu dessert elsewhere, but this one didn't need anything extra. Perfectly balanced and so comforting. 10/10.

    I love the shaved ice here ! Comes with plenty of fruit, delicious strawberry ice cream, and tasty flan. The ice is smothered in condensed milk too. It's all just divine. I added mochi to this one as an add on per a friends request. I was able to share this bowl with 3 other friends. You order at the cashier, and they will call out your number when your order is ready. Really low key chill place. I've been here multiple times and always enjoy my dessert

    I checked this place out for the first time today, and the menu variety is honestly impressive. They have everything from traditional shaved ice and fresh fruit smoothies to sago and hot desserts. I ended up getting the mango sago drink. The fruit was actually fresh and ripe, which isn't always the case at these types of spots. I also got the hot almond soup with mochi balls (sesame inside). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the state of the dining area. Even though it wasn't super packed when I went, almost every available table was dirty/sticky. I had to go find some napkins and wipe down my own spot just to sit comfortably

    Mixed fruit shaved ice with flan

    We ordered the mixed fruit shaved ice with flan to share among 4 people, and it was more than enough to satisfy everyone. Each of us also happened to prefer a different fruit topping, which made the sharing more harmonious. The shaved ice has a traditional ice base, so every bite was incredibly refreshing without feeling heavy. Cheap, no-frills vibe. Will definitely be back!

    Kept seeing ads abt the mango sago at juice box online and finally caved in. They require you to pay a minimum amount if you want to pay by card on the kiosk. The wait was not long at all. The mango sago is basically a really heavy mango smoothie with coconut and sago in it. I was not really a fan of the mango. It tasted too dense and heavy and did not really match up with the sago. I think if you want a mango coconut smoothie you're better off just going to heytea. Their mango drink is actually cheaper too... It seems that the shaved ice is the move if you ever come here

    visited houston for the first time and i definitely wanted to try this taiwanese owned dessert staple in chinatown!! we ordered their mixed fruit with strawberry ice cream and flan and switched out the watermelon for mango. pretty much everything here is customizable and they have a lot of different menu options, it's not just a shaved ice place. there's a pretty decent amount of seating, but i can see it being hard to find one if it's busy because it's still kind of a small space. everything was very clean though. all of the fruits tasted very fresh and the ice cream was sooooo good. great quality, it's not the cheap artificial strawberry. the condensed milk is a good addition as well. it. makes sense why they're always busy. if i lived here i would go here so often!!!

    So refreshing! Juicy box is friendly, fresh, and tasty Taiwanese dessert shop. The menu ranges from icecream to flan to snow! We ordered the flan and strawberry x mango snow. Soo yummy.

    Milk tea snow ice with red beans, caramel pudding, tofu with mixed balls, and sesame soup with tofu
    Melissa H.

    I've been a loyal patron of Juicy Box for years, and their desserts never disappoint! The store is ran by a lovely couple who are super friendly. The flan is always smooth, rich, and silky, just absolutely perfect every time in convenient individual cups. I also love their black sesame soup with tofu, and when I'm in the mood, I add lotus seeds for an extra touch. Their smoothies are refreshing, with the blueberry strawberry slushy being a personal favorite! Just the right balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Their hot mochi with peanut and black sesame seeds is also good. They are soft, qq, and made to order just like all their other desserts. I do miss their milk tea-flavored shaved ice, but this remains my go-to spot for delicious desserts!

    This dessert store had lots of familiar and new flavors. We ordered and paid for the caramel ice jelly with fruits, but then told it ran out. So then we ordered the herb jelly coconut milk sago as a replacement but they didn't refund the extra cost we paid. We also ordered the durian coconut milk sage with durian ice cream. I'm glad I was able to fine a dessert store that has durian ice cream made with real durian. Since it wasn't in season, the small pieces of durian in the ice cream wasn't as sweet. However overall, but the desserts were a good sweetness.

    With the small, the flan is separate. Whenever I made room, I was able to add the flan in. It's so good!

    I saw a video on Instagram and decided to try this place out. Upon arriving, the parking situation was a little tricky. I waited awhile before going in. I didn't see anyone going inside so I questioned if it was open. Lately, Google establishments been having incorrect store hours so I wasn't sure if it was actually open. I called and a friendly lady answered the phone, she answered all questions I had about the pricing. Once I saw someone go in and come out, I knew they were open. I was greeted with smiling faces which made me feel welcome. These ladies were very nice! I went around 1pm, despite multiple cars in the parking lot. There was hardly anyone on the inside which made it a better experience for me. I really enjoyed the Taiwanese dessert. I got the small over the medium, even though the small looked bigger than the medium (I'll check the dimensions next time I return). The flan was light, not overly sweet, and tasty. I got 1 scoop of mango ice cream with 1 fruit watermelon. I absolutely loved how the coldness made the watermelon like a icey consistency. The condense milk was a nice balance of shaved ice and sweetness. I definitely will be returning as I want to enjoy the medium over the small, the mango slushy, and smoothie. I remember coming to Nu Ice years ago for Lou UYE, but I don't remember Juicy Box being by Nu Ice. This is a nice and cool place to unwind and relax.

Its a very casual, cafeteria-esque restaurant with a pretty extensive menu. The owner was really nice but I think assumed I could speak Mandarin/Taiwanese but sadly I'm just a Canto boy. Anyways, we ordered with him and he gave us a number and explained the process in Taiwanese but we figured it out. Grab the items you need, get water if you want, sit at an open table and wait. I ended up trying the oyster pancake and the leek, pork intestine, and blood claypot. Both were great and really hit the spot for me (pro tip, their chili oil is great and adds another great layer of flavor). The oyster pancake had quite a bit of oysters and they were nice and plump. For those willing to try offal meats, the pork intestine and pork blood was amazing, flavors exactly what I wanted and cooked very well, nothing was chewy or over/undercooked. Prices and portions were also great and I was able to have my meal for 3 different days, and the third day I just overate. Overall, I'm glad to have found this spot and recommend it for anyone wanting Taiwanese food or to try something different. They have a lot of options and a really great deal for the more buffet/cafeteria style plates. Def can't wait to come back and get some more food!

The portion size has gotten a bit smaller (inflation sucks), but the quality remains solid. I especially like the few slices of sausage and some pickled mustard greens, which help balance out the richness of the braised pork belly. If you dine in, they offer unsweetened black tea that's actually quite tasty. It's a no-frills spot--simple, quick, and dependable whether you're grabbing food to go or eating there. They also sell items like mung bean cake, which I love, and I usually take a couple home. They got a few tables to dine in and the staff are friendly.

    Look no further for authenticity, flavor, and complexity in Chinese cooking near the med center!…read more Though we opted for more "simple" dishes during this experience, you can judge a place by if they can do their simple dishes well. The mapo tofu is one of the best we've had outside of Bellaire with spicy, savory, numbing, and warmth that you expect from a good mapo tofu. Crispy popcorn chicken is a classic that's spicy, lightly fried, and crisp. It has an authenticity that other places around can't replicate and makes you keep craving more. The portions are also appropriate for their price. Service is incredibly quick, and you can order as you go and receive your dish within 10-15 minutes, regardless of how busy they are. As for the ambiance, it's loud, it's hectic, and it's simple... maybe a stretch, but makes me feel like I'm eating at a mom and pop shop in the heart of China. This place is definitely a go to if I'm convincing a friend of Houston's great food scene! Rating: 4.5/5

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.
